This blog began through a NIFA grant for Missouri Beginning Farmers. It continues today as a way for beginning farmers to learn about new ideas and to hear about upcoming events of interest. It is maintained by Debi Kelly (kellyd@missouri.edu).

About Me

As an Extension Associate with the University of Missouri, I work with beginning farmers, small farms, alternative agriculture and organic farming. I am also the Co-coordinator for the Missouri Sustainable Agriculture and Research (SARE) Education Professional Development Program (PDP).

Looking for a way to complement your market offerings
throughout the season? Small fruit is one of the best ways to diversify and
increase profitability for market producers. This workshop is designed to cover
basic principles of production for a variety of small fruit including:
Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, and Grapes. Hear from
producers and Extension educators about these crops to see if you want to add
them to your farming enterprise.
